HeatBloc-75
radiant barrier coating is a
water-based, low emissivity (low-e)
product and an excellent replacement for
foil or metallized plastic film radiant
barriers. In many situations,
HeatBloc-75 is the only economical way
to retrofit a radiant barrier since it
may be safely applied in enclosed areas
at a low cost.
With a
radiant barrier properly installed, you
can significantly reduce the amount of
heat that common insulation materials
are designed to slow down thereby
maximizing the efficiency of common
insulation materials making your home more comfortable and reducing your
overall energy utility costs.
Radiant
energy is energy that comes in waves
from the sun or comes from an inside
source, like a furnace. On warm days,
when the sun’s rays strike the roof, the
roof absorbs heat, which increases
temperatures in the attic. Eventually,
this heat is transferred throughout your
home – resulting in increased air
conditioning costs. On cool days, when
radiant energy comes from an inside
source, it travels upward and escapes
through the attic. But in either
situation, energy costs are literally
going through the roof.
